Review

What a head turner! If I had a nickel for every time someone stopped me to talk about this car I would have over $3! (which would pay for enough gas to go about 15 miles.) The car is powerful, not quick off the start but smooth and fast going from 50 to 100. The ride is comfortable. The upkeep can be expensive, but if you stay ahead of the curve by doing preventative maintenance it is very reliable. Change the bushings, hoses, and other rubber mounts, put in new switches and you should be all set.

Favorite Features

looks, v12, power

Suggested Improvements

kind of pointless on a car that has been out of production for 8 years, but a more available manual transmission would have been nice.

Review

Jag's are terrible mechanically once you get to know them. I bought mine used and at first it was great. Then the problems started. It would stall for no apparent reason and refuse to restart for a couple of hours. Now it has an electrical gremlin where the battery discharges. I had my mechanic check the car and he cannot trace the problem. It is a little anemic in the power department, but that is bearable. When it runs, the ride is great, the seats are comfortable and I can drive it for hours without feeling fatigue. The problem is reliability. I finally grew tired of the problems and dumped it.

Favorite Features

Interior, seats, ride.

Suggested Improvements

More power, better reliability.

Review

Just got this in showroom condition with only 15,200 miles on it from a friend who is original owner, for $8,500. Old design but boy does it get the looks!

Favorite Features

Exterior design. Few cars, old or new, can beat this.

Suggested Improvements

Tight squeeze for me at 6-2, no cupholders, and it needs a 4 or 5 speed tranny, not the 3 speed it came with.

Review

This is the most BEAUTIFUL, exciting, FUN, attention getter, PRIDEFUL, powerful, SEXY, smooth, CAN'T STOP MYSELF FROM STARING AT, vehicle I have ever had the PLEASURE to own!!!!!!!!! I love the cockpit/racecar feel/view that it has. It's low to the ground, and goes 0-60 in 7.5 seconds.

Favorite Features

Premium sound system. New pioneer CD system instead of cassette. Electric seat functions. TRIP COMPUTER calculates your average speed, mileage, fuel consumption, average fuel con.per trip, and fuel con. at that moment,and time this enables you to economize.

Suggested Improvements

Cup holders and more leg room for the back seats.BUT---The holders you can order!
